Trivia
- John Fallon (ankle), Jimmy Johnstone (groin) and Bobby Murdoch (groin) all picked up knocks in the Wednesday night Galsgow Cup game against Third Lanark. John Divers was also recovering from 'flu.Fallon and Johnstone recovered in time but Paddy Turner replace Bobby Murdoch at inside right.
- Outside of Celtic, Second Division Clyde were having talks to move their ground from Shawfield Stadium to a brand new stadium in East Kilbride.
Review
Eyemouth started well and their defense protected the goal well. With over half an hour gone and no sign of a goal the home fans began to show their unease and disenchantment. On the restart, Turner had a header off the bar then in a neat move Johnstone fired over a corner right on the head of Chalmers who easily headed home. The goal spurred Celtic on and though Eyemouth failed to buckle the Celtic attacks were now looking more menacing. Turner had a shot cleared off the line. Gallacher got a second goal with a header of 68 minutes. Chalmers got a third goal ten minutes later.
